Fig. 10From: Mimics in chest disease: interstitial opacitiesDesquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP). HRCT at the level of the lower lobes demonstrates a “reticular pattern” consisted of subpleural traction bronchiolectasis and bronchiectasis, thickening of the peribronchovascular interstitium, ground-glass opacity and minimal honeycombing. Bilateral pleural effusions—which are not a finding of DIP—are attributed to cardiac failureBack to article page
